Content
A microgrid is a small scale power grid that can operate independently or be integrated into a national grid. With the recent increase in distributed and renewable energy resources increasing remote or isolated loads, a customised microgrid solution is required.
The aim of this unit is to provide students with sufficient knowledge about the design and management of microgrid systems. Students will learn about the structure, type and resources required to design and operate a microgrid and still maintain standard power quality. Students will also develop power management strategies for microgrid and analyse the system.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| ULO1 | Apply specialised knowledge to design a microgrid and analyse its operation. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO2 | Apply problem solving skill and demonstrate creative and innovative solutions to microgrid design. | GLO4: Critical Thinking |
| ULO3 | Demonstrate analytical skill to propose and present solutions associated with problems associated with micro-grid operation and integration. | GLO5: Problem solving |
These Unit Learning Outcomes are applicable for all teaching periods throughout the year.
Assessment
